Motorola, QUALCOMM, and Wireless Knowledge veteran assumes

influential role for industry acceptance of i-BURST, ArrayComm's

breakthrough wireless broadband technology

ArrayComm Chairman and CEO Martin Cooper announced today that John Major, CEO of Wireless Internet Solutions Group, has joined ArrayComm's Board of Directors.

Major brings more than 15 years of telecommunications leadership experience to ArrayComm, having spearheaded operations for Motorola, QUALCOMM and WirelessKnowledge.

Major -- who serves on the Telecommunications Industry Association's Board of Directors' Executive Committee and who recently completed a term as chairman of the Electronics Industry Association -- is expected to help accelerate market development efforts for i-BURST(TM), a new broadband wireless technology from ArrayComm. i-BURST leverages ArrayComm's IntelliCell(R) smart antenna technology, to provide high-speed portable wireless Internet access at 400 times the performance of today's conventional cellular systems, and 40 times the effective throughputs of the most ambitious 3G technologies still under development.

"I anticipate i-BURST will be at the core of a widespread broadband wireless build-out, providing exponential growth to both the wireless and Internet industries," said Major.

"John will be a great asset to us as we transition from fine-tuning i-BURST and demonstrating its capabilities, to deploying a nationwide system in conjunction with a major carrier and service provider," Said Cooper." With the recent additions to our management team, and with John's experience, strategic thinking and dynamic leadership on the Board, ArrayComm and its partners are poised to execute an aggressive nationwide rollout that will deliver a wide variety of low-cost, portable, broadband Internet application services to professionals and consumers alike."

Major's Board appointment is the latest in a series of strategic personnel moves by ArrayComm. In January, the company named Dr. Nitin J. Shah as executive vice president and general manager of its Internet Products Business Unit. Shah had been serving as vice president in charge of wireless Internet applications for the Wireless Networks Group of Lucent Technologies.

In September, Sprint veteran Clarence "Sam" Endy was named executive vice president and General Manager of ArrayComm's IntelliCell products business unit.

i-BURST is based on the patented IntelliCell adaptive signal processing platform, that dramatically enhances the quality, capacity and coverage of wireless telecommunications networks and works with any wireless standard. IntelliCell achieves exceptional increases in spectral bandwidth efficiency by focusing radio signals on individuals and rejecting interference from other network users. IntelliCell enables the i-BURST system to deliver an "always on," "freedom to move" high-speed Internet experience, customizable to a broadly differentiated user-base.

Systems employing ArrayComm's technology are serving more than 3.5 million commercial customers in the Philippines, UAE, Malaysia, China and Japan. ArrayComm is helping make high-quality wireless communications truly affordable for mass markets worldwide.
